amphixenosis

Definitions

A zoonosis that can be passed from humans to other species as well as being passed from another species to a human.

Examples

“Several of the agents on the list are the result⟳ of human beings' sharing parasites with other species (i.e., amphixenosis) because the parasite is not that finicky about its final host⟳. Schistosoma japonicum is a fairly straightforward case of amphixenosis; the schistosome would be just as happy in a cow or in a cat, so is Trypenosoma cruzi.”

“The preparation and maintenance/control⟳ of the desired animals and the control⟳ of the propagation of amphixenoses derived from the animals are issues specific to these products.”
